"Life's a journey not a destination" ~Aerosmith
I am a senior at Virginia
Tech, and will be graduating with a Biology degree this December.
I joined the Sible Lab January 2002, and have moved from doing dishes and
other grunt work to doing experiments on my own. I am currently wrapping
up a project that was started by Matt Petrus concerning the effect of XChk1
on Wee1 and Cdc25A pathways in Xenopus laevis embryos. I enjoy
doing Western Blot Protein Analysis the best. Recently I've been
working with RNA and Northern Blots, and helping Tony with his tissue cultures.
After graduation, I hope
to be accepted into Virginia Tech's Grad School Program and continue my
work in Dr. Sible's Lab.
